Sharon, GA 30664 Frost Dates

When can you plant in Sharon, GA?

Zone 8b

Around 03/22 is the usual last spring frost, about 206 days away. The first fall frost typically arrives around 11/13, about 237 frost-free days later.

The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Sharon in Zone 8b (15 to 20°F average annual minimum); frost dates are NOAA's 1991-2020 station normal, not this year's forecast.

What to do before the first frost

About 11 weeks of growing season left in Sharon before the first fall frost — a cold frame or row cover can stretch harvest weeks past that date.

Why 03/22 isn't a guarantee

03/22 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 02/28 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 04/06 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
